Your board probably has multiple SATA controllers.  If you plugged your SSD into the Marvell controller but the controller is disabled it won't detect the SSD.

 

i think you have 10 SATA ports on that board, 6 on one controller, 4 on the other.  They are usually a different colour

okay

You want to go here and make sure it's set to AHCI. 

If it is already set to AHCI, try the SSD in another port, or another machine. 

If it isn't set to AHCI, set it to AHCI and try to boot to your hard drive. 

It will say unable to boot and go to the startup repair screen; where it will take a few minutes to fix some files and you will be able to boot off your hard drive again.

I finally got my bios to detect the ssd, I've done everything you have told me, I am in AHCI, but whenever i try to boot on the ssd; my screen blinks once or twice, then I am instantly kicked out, and put back to the bios menu :(

Is there an operating system on the SSD?

If I understand you correctly, your OS is on your hard drive.

You need to install windows on the SSD before you can boot from it
